altering layer vis via onclick

[scope]

hey all,

i've had a problem plaguing me for weeks (besides the usual ones . i'm trying to use an onclick event as part of an imagemap, to alter the visibility of another layer. ie, click there, and that pops up.

it just doesn't work, and i've tried everything. if you need proof, just create a quick image map, and see what happens when trying to alter the visibility. it seems that some onclick events actually do respond, but trying to alter layer visibility results in an object error.

if you've got any suggestions, let me know.

regards,

scott.

So you are trying to alter the visibility of itself? AND some other layer? I don't see why it won't work - are you calling the actions in href='javascript:functionCall()'? I'm not sure but maybe onClick is no good for image maps?

I managed to get it to work though - even with an alert call in the href? There must be some other problem:

<MAP name='bangers'>
<area shape=rect coords=&quot;0,0,20,20&quot; href=&quot;javascript:alert('hello')&quot; onClick='document.all[&quot;tip_1&quot;].style.visibility=&quot;visible&quot;'>
</MAP>

I am not sure what the problem is?
